What are the best early releases on this label?

http://www.discogs.com/label/Overdrive

just wondering, i only ever had a couple and heard a few nice ones on the radio. If anyone has some examples of good releases and/or links to youtube's of them too that'd be excellent!

cheers

nice, the hard stuff.... wondered also if there's more stuff like Jim Clarke's "Qualification" around on that label as well

I quite look a few of the early ones including Brain-E & Hardcore Trax Vol. II for starters. Not keen with the later mid 90s stuff, a bit boring, minimal or acid trance for my liking but that's just me.

not bad...

My favourite on Overdrive by the way is the Humanoids From The Deep release, that's a stunning track (tube-tech)

LOL! - Forgot about not to use the master release url, as it obviously links to the wrong title :D
Here's the proper link Syncro Flash A/B - The Speed Mental Hardcore E.P.

The first Members of Overdrive EP: http://www.discogs.com/Members...-Vol-1/release/20545

3 of the tracks are pretty forgettable hard techno, but "Acid Heartcore" is an excellent breakbeat track with big stabs and acid (funnily enough) in it, as played by Easygroove.

This is also cool: http://www.discogs.com/Clone-I...reedom/release/55913 - ok it's from 94, but "Happy Acid Moves" is a subtle bit of acid breakbeat / techno crossover that fits with 93 stuff. The other side is alright too, it's on a few Clarkee sets...a little more on the harder tip though.
